If it had a holodeck program of stereotypes from an Irish Spring soap commercial then it sucked waaay harder than "11:59."

Ya it's a crap episode but Salamander babies and racist Irish town certainly spring to mind as the worst

I don’t remember much of the Fair Haven episode (my last rewatch is now from ten years ago), but Threshold had at least that it’s so bad it can be watched for amusement.
 
I could see Soong manipulating Kore's DNA using outlawed gene resequencing from the time of the Eugenics Wars and trying to create a daughter with ideal physical traits. Even after the terrible lessons of the 1990s he couldn't resist tampering with her genetic makeup and for his own selfish ends.
 
Has there been a single Soong in history who didn't dabble in things humanity was not supposed to know?

Seriously, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they travelled back into the middle ages and found one of them as an alchemist trying to create a homunculus and poisoning the groundwater of the entire city in the process.

I'm surprised they haven't just gone all the way and established a connection between Khan (Noonien) Singh and the (Noonian) Soongs, saying that Adam Soong was one of Khan's many descendants from his various concubines who remained behind on Earth and changed his name to avoid persecution, while continuing to try and perfect his genetic engineering and eugenics projects.

I know the out-universe reason for using the name Noonien was because it was named after Roddenberry's friend from WWII, but in-universe I always thought the names and motivations of building a better human were too similar for there not to be some connection.

I think Kore is a clone based on Soong's likely lost wife.
 
It seems Picard has become a mashup of Trek and Mission: Impossible.

It's all there: The Hacker, The Pilot, The Muscle, and Picard (The Brain Behind It All).

All we need now is Tom Cruise. :p
 
Let's see ...

We've done the car chase (Beverly Hills Cop -- Didn't want to spring for Neutron Dance on the soundtrack?) and Mission: Impossible.

How many more Paramount properties are we going to cycle through? :rolleyes:
